Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

It's normal and customary to feel reflective at the end of every year. At least I tell myself it's normal, because it seems like lately everything I think is NOT normal, and the more encouragement to myself that I am normal the better. (See, totally normal).

I have reflected that 2013 really sucked ass. I mean, like, really bad. Like, God help me if I have another year as bad as this one. However, those are my sentiments now at this moment, and I know that in a couple years (hopefully a couple of good years) I will be strong enough and wise enough to handle another bad year, because I think they are inevitable, and that's just the way life goes.

Even though this year sucked some big ass, I did have some really, really, really good moments. A lot of it is attributed to my beautiful children, my beautiful family, and my beautiful friends. All of whom proved to me that I am blessed beyond measure, and possibly one of the luckiest people around (despite all of the bad shit).

I have learned a lot of lessons this year. If I sat down and wrote them all down it would take way too long, and I don't got time for that. I learned a lot about myself, a lot about appliances, a lot about best practices at outdoor concerts, a lot about how to make your face look like you haven't been crying for days. I learned that you can get something notarized at a Bails Bond for $2. I learned that Sam loves dance parties and Abe only pretends that he doesn't. I learned that I am loved by a lot of people. And I learned that life will go on.
